Choose wedding invitations in Hong Kong - A Dilemma In Hong Kong, couples will think that traditional wedding cards are something old-fashioned, red in color with golden hot stamping. Moreover, all these traditional invitation cards are all provided by a few printing companies and all are alike. They would make their wedding as unique as possible and therefore they feel that this is not a good idea to choose wedding invitations with traditional designs.
Practically, the alternative of choice for traditional invitations invitations that people in Hong Kong called the style of the West (actually, I'll define what Hong Kong style). They are generally white, which is a great contrast with the traditional red color. However, the color white in China usually means death. Consequently, parents of couples may not like this kind of wedding invitations, since these cards affect the taboos of the Chinese population.
In fact, the choice of wedding invitation may lead to disagreements between the couple and parents. There was a couple who wanted to order the wedding invitation western style. And accordingly, they instructed them to a print shop and after they are all printed, they found that their parents did not like the invitation of the drawings very well.
The couple was really in a dilemma because they do not even think about the problem of the color white wedding invitations. And finally, they had to order new. This time they order is the design of red to meet the demands of their parents.
In fact, couples are not reluctant to use designs red wedding invitation. They are not the color of an obstacle. The main problem is the design of these traditional maps. The cards are not properly designed. Indeed, companies that provide wedding cards are print shops, rather than designers. We must admit that interest of a designer and a print shop will be very different. The help of professional designers will be needed to make the traditional red wedding cards more elegant colors.
As a designer myself, I see nothing wrong with red and golden hot stamping. They are only a selection of colors and printing technology at the end of the day. In fact, I am an advocate of traditional elements. However, it should handle the design elements wisely so we do not copy what the print was done in the past. For example, we can introduce Chinese paper cutting patterns in the wedding invitations to make the invitations more elegant.
From my point of view, print shops should work hand in hand with professional designers to redefine a new generation of Chinese wedding invitations. We should try to design wedding invitations in a way that is both in line with Chinese tradition and the other has their own merits. modern designs of today can become traditional designs of tomorrow. We must constantly define and redefine our modern conceptions, such as unique Chinese wedding invitations can be made.
